Plot Setup

Players have just fixed Prof. Chronus's time machine and are returning to Peach Frontier Laboratories to see her re-materialize.
But upon returning to the lab they found it is once again Trenchwood Institute and they realized they are right back at the beginning of the Act I timeline
The Doctor's time machine demonstration has once again gone awry.
Prof. Chronos pulled out a core dump and the players were able to (surprisingly quickly) tell Prof. Chronus unscramble it diagnose that there's a problem with machine's midi ether co-keypads
Prof. Chronos was also amazed that the visitors just happened to have a new design for co-keypad #34 on their camera phones.

Players are not expected to have to "really" run this puzzle again. When Prof. Chronus asks for the password we hope they'll simply tell it to her (much to her surprise--"are you all industrial spies? How do you know so much? Are you from the future?!")

 ==Plot Setup==
-Prof. Chronus needs access to the Doctor's super secure Brain-O-Matic 2000 supercomputer, which contains key data needed to finish installing the pep ring. But she doesn't have the password. Over their years of friendship he's hinted that he always uses the same password and stored it for himself in puzzle format in case he forgot it himself.

 ==Props==
-Childhood memoribilia for set dressing and foreshadowing.
 ==Plot Point to Convey==
-While rumaging through the Doctor's childhood memoribilia, the players will see references to the childhood friendship with the Professor. They'll also find a large, empty picture frame...clearly something was in until recently (the high school newspaper clipping showing him being slimed--see the "Retrieve The Envelop" puzzle below), but now there's nothing to be found except Post-Its saying "not this time!" [We might also have a scale model of the science fair visible on site with weird trajectory calculations that don't make sense to the players--yet.] The solution of this puzzle will also foreshadow the Doctor's lifelong love for Buffy.
 ==Short Description==
-Ideally something with an 80's reference (since he's been using the same password since the 80's). Perhaps a Rubik's Cube?
